Little Berry "L. B." Croley was born to William Croley and Elizabeth (nee Powell) Croley on December 15, 1815 in the area of Big Cane Creek in Knox County, Kentucky.
In January of 1818, the newly formed Whitley County, Kentucky, which was formed from parts of Knox County, Kentucky, included the Big Cane Creek area. This meant that William Croley's family was now living in Big Cane Creek area of Whitley County, Kentucky.
Little Berry lived with his parents in Whitley County, Kentucky until his marriage to Winnie Lay on March 31, 1844 in Campbell County, Tennessee.
On May 8, 1844, Little Berry Croley (Age: 28) buys land, from Uncle Francis Travis Gibson, in Campbell County, Tennessee presumably to set-up housekeeping.

In 1863, Little Berry Croley (age 44) enlisted in Company B, Tennessee 1st East Tenn Cavalry Regiment as a Private in the roll of a Scout(Union Army, Civil War).
Little Berry and Winnie had 11 children: Parisidia, Elizabeth Jane, Nancy L., James Merlin, John G. "Black John", Mary "Polly" J., Wymer, Thomas, Green Berry, Andrew Jackson, and Michael M. Croley.
